Hi all,
I understand that a topic ID must be unique within the scope of
the root ditamap used for publishing the content.
FrameMaker, which I used previously, creates IDs of the type
id172OC0C03J7
So there is an arbitrary combination of 11 digits and letters.
In oXygen I have set the "DITA > ID Option" as follows:
${localName}_${id}
Which creates IDs of the following type:
task_rf2_vcg_ywb
So there is an arbitrary combination of only 9 characters, mostly letters. But perhaps sufficient for ensuring uniqueness...
However, when I use the "DITA > Insert > Insert New DITA
Resource" command, oXygen does not honor the "ID Option"
setting, but creates IDs which are identical to the file name.
This is not what I want and surely not suitable for ensuring uniqueness.
How can I get oXygen to honor the "ID Option" setting or make
it otherwise generate IDs with arbitrary characters which are
likely to be unique?
Regards,
Frank
